As with every increase we've seen in the past this should give some guilds still struggling with encounters that little extra needed push and guilds who are experienced will get an easier time. It should also be noted this is the final increase to the buff so don't expect another 5% to be tacked on again in a month!

As always, you can turn this buff off at anytime if you feel like trying the encounter in its most difficult form.

Seriously though, I do like the buffs, but the ability to scale the buff would be amazing. I'm sure that's said every month. >.>

i think this is a bit tooooo much, i was cool a buff but this is 30% already?for each 3 dps with this buff you have 1 free so thats 2 free dps in a 10 man on saurfangAnd i'm to lazy to do the math for 25man but this is overkill imho

Were you getting him 15% or less? If yes, you probably will do it. If no, there is more than numbers causing problems.

Only if you compare it the having no buff(which was about 5 months ago). Your only 5% better than last week :P

We consistently get him down to between 25 and 20%

When you say it out loud 30% seems like a lot, and yet very few guilds have downed LK in 25 man heroic mode, even though ICC has been out for an extremely long time.

If you haven't beaten the current content, why complain about "this is a bit tooooo much"?

like i said before , once world first is done, it really doesnt matter who gets a boost since barring the new OS raid its the last raid of the xp. so if a few people who prolly couldnt get past the first wing in icc get it. doesnt hurt anyone. besides think of all the alts you may have that now can get better gear. really everything now is just gearing for cataclysm. Only the hardcore will prolly even be doing cat roics within a week anyway. so in the long run. its no big deal just fun time and shorter raids for those of us who could already do it. almost forgot, think of the people who will get raid experience that couldnt before. that person you may think is a scrub now, a yr from now could be saving your raid from wiping for simply having the added exp

I've heard there will be no "Kingslayer" title after this buff, can someone confirm that? I hope whoever said that is wrong...

Thanks

Guilds have been getting kingslayer from the 25% buff, I don't see why they would make 30% a cutoff point.

My guild's 10-man progression is great, as we can put our core raiders in and clear some content, but 25-man we aren't so lucky. We just don't have the numbers. Week after week I am forced to PuG, and so I am glad when these little 5% buffs get added and I can progress a little bit further.

That being said, I did recently get lucky and was recruited into a premade ICC-25 group that is a mix of guilds on my realm and we are progressing in Heroic mode. This will help for sure!

30%. Hopefully PuGs will start seeing a bit farther, no?

And any guild that doesn't have 10m LK (hell, even 25m if they're consistently raiding it) down and has been working on him for awhile... this buff won't help you. It's an l2p issue there, sadly.

If you've been wiping at 11% for as long as you can remember, you're doing it wrong.

Which they've said they were going to do from the very very beginning. Less with the qq. Another 5% isn't going to save a group that doesn't learn the tactics. But it might just help those who are a bit unlucky.

Once again, THIS, A THOUSAND TIMES THIS. If you can't learn mechanics, you will wipe too fast for the buff to make a difference.
